Why do people ask questions when they don’t want an honest answer?

Because every snowflake wants a safe space anymore. An echo chamber where people just agree with them. That way they never have to grow in life and then they wonder why life never gets any better for them. Because with growing comes growing pains.

Why are some people unable to understand obvious social cues and intead think that every question is a request for an answer?

Maybe because they’re Autistic?

And how hard is it to understand this after having been told?

It’s difficult to get still. More now because it’s stupid.

I used to feel as you do. But then I learned that it's not stupid. Language is a tool for communication and it is used in complicated ways that we learn from experience and observation.

A lot of posts on here are just clickbait, especially in the politics section. They don't want debate, they are just looking for people to agree with them.

They're just looking for people to agree with them to validate their own opinion or stance. Nothing more.

No fucking idea. Extremely dumb thing to do.

Stupid questions include:

Does this make me look fat?
Is my ass too big in this?
Is she prettier than me?

Don't ask stupid questions you don't want an honest answer to...

They want the truth, what they don't want, is being an asshole about it

"you're fat" as opposed to, "might i suggest doing such and such". It's constructive criticism over just being a fucking retard, like trump

Lots of people want confirmation of their own ideas, not the ideas of others. Not sure how people with that mindset can learn much, but that is their problem.

Because trash people refuse to admit they trash. That's why they usually do it anonymously too.

Because if you lie you better make it look sexy
